Spotted my first IH in the wild last night, a 1906. Unfortunately it was in a locked plexiglass charity box so there was nothing I could do. There was a wheat next to it with the date facing down as well. I pointed them out to the cashier so maybe someone will rescue them, but in retrospect maybe I should have asked him to check if there were any other goodies in the till. |

Got my 3rd IH. This one is nothing to brag about though as it looks like it went through a garbage disposal as it hardly looks like a penny. Since it was so beat up I cleaned it with the vinegar/salt solution and although it's shiny clean I would be hard pressed to read a firm date. It appears to be a 18?? so I'll just leave it at that and keep looking. |
You're kidding, right? |

Found a real ugly one for the tribe. Thought it was a foreign coin till I looked closely and it was a beat up corroded Indian. Only thing I can read on date is 18??. Its also really thin.
Found a 1904 in the Ryedale discriminator that Pennybullion sent me, but that one doesn't count. Thanks Pennybullion for the IH in the deal.

Found an 1883 a few days ago. 3rd one in the last couple months.
I wonder why there was an Indian Head used in the Ryedale? |

Found my first IH in the 'wild'. A very clean, no corrosion or problems of any kind coin, but very common date - 1901. I have been handsorting for about 6-8 months.
I still think that 1914 D is out there somewhere waiting for me to pick up the roll its in

Found my 4th IH. Very readable 1899 but the coin has a lot of green to it, so much in fact there is a divot on the neck line. Would/should I clean the green off or leave it alone? |
You're kidding, right? |

My 2nd $50 bag of cents has yielded another IH cent! It was 2 nights ago. A nice but worn 1907. It weighs in at about 3.0 grams. We (my family & I) are not yet done sorting so we'll post the results of the whole bag soon. Good luck everyone!  |

Finally finished my bag! Found another IH! A 1906 - had some damage to the edge of it but still very nice! Also found a 1937 George VI (missed a George V by 1 year!!) and 4 "S" cents including a clipped 1969 - not much is missing, but what are the odds of finding a '69 S clipped? Gotta be rare - but worth any $$$? Overall found 27.9% copper, down from 33.5% in previous bag but now my rate to date is 30.2%. Not bad. Will get next $50 next paycheck! Thanks all! |
